RandomPeon's Journal: Get your Superwidgets now

Superwidgets are the new big thing. They consist of a subwidget, several microwidgets, a foo-joiner, a blarg-tensioner, and come with a widget spanner. The Superwidget will begin production next Tuesday at 4 PM central time if all design is completed on time. The manual for the Superwidget is already written. It is as follows:

"Thank you for purchasing a Superwidget. They are the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe better. Use your superwidget correctly. Store in a cool dry place. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children."

I needed 1 GB of memory and 2 2.4GHz Xeons at >90% CPU utilization to tell you this. And a "medium" Oracle DB (just a few gigabytes of tables). Oh, and an LDAP server. And let's not forget the really fucked-up webserver. And 3 entire days.

Holy shit, our application is, ummmm, resource-intensive.

Argh

"Don't taunt happy Superwidget!"
